"Despite the feature constraints in this version of Wing, it is a powerful IDE." -- Linux Enterprise, October 2002

Wing IDE 101

Wing IDE 101 is a free basic edition of Wing IDE that was originally designed with the University of Toronto Computer Science Department for teaching entry level computer science courses. It is not open source but is free for non-commercial use by educators, students, and hobbyists.

Note that Wing IDE 101 omits auto-completion and most other code intelligence features in the other Wing IDE products. This was by design, so that students are more conscious of the details of the language and modules they are learning about.
